Documentary Inspiration

We looked at a few documentaries and looked at their style to see how we could make our documentary. We looked at the Eastenders e20 documentary. The style of this video is very informative mixing in interviews with production members to the filming of the actual show. The interviews are very laid back and this makes for a very interesting video to watch.



We also looked at a video to see how to perform an interview correctly. We had to make sure all our interviews were fairly laid back, but provided all the information that was needed without them being boring or dragging on for too long. The video that we looked at was of a Derren Brown one.



The setting of the interview is just right with the camera panning around to not only show the person being interviewed, but also the interviewer. However, in our interviews, we did not keep to this. The camera was static with the interviewer not in shot at all, though they can be heard. However with each of the interviews, we did have different shots, so they weren't just mid shots of people sitting at desks.
